cheapest cost of traveling to long island

<p>Is there a train station nearby? How much would it cost on average, to travel to long island? Specifically Suffolk County?</p>

<p>the nearest train station is in utica around 40 minutes away, but most of my friends who live in nyc/westchester take a bus down- they run directly from colgate to the city</p>

<p>2 way bus ticket from colgate to nyc(42nd st) is 68.40 if you leave on a friday and 88.40 otherwise. hopefully your parents can meet you in the city and take you home from there. if not, im not sure what the fares are on the LIRR from the city to suffolk county; i assume it wouldnt be more than $15 one way.</p>

<p>thanks 4 the help pryanks211</p>
